Here's a photo of the coach, 773,  with the BURLINGTON lettering -->

And why would Metra care?  They didn't pay for it!

series car I was boarding and saw classic lettering that looked like it
was from the old CB&Q days. Lo and behold I discovered that two cars in
the train were lettered in the old 'Zephyr' font as follows: Car 779 -
"BNSF Railway", Car 742 - "Burlington". Given that one of the cars
referred to BNSF I am thinking that the lettering is new. Another 700
series car on the train still had the blank spot so I am not sure if the
two cars were unique - lettered for a movie, commercial or something -
or if this is something that will be applied (one can hope) to all of
the old series cars.

it's dark in the morning and dark at night it may be a while before I
get a good shot.
